As I mentioned in my previous blog, the snorkeling right off
of our moorings in the Soufriere Marine Management Area by the Pitons was just
fantastic. We moored in two locations: on the north side of the Soufriere Bay
(the bat cave), and between the Pitons. The two sites were quite different. At
the bat cave, the bottom sloped steeply down from the shore to hundreds of
feet. The substrate was principally
rocky, with huge, coral encrusted boulders and coarse sandy/rocky bottom. Over
between the Pitons, we were moored over a relatively flat, fine sandy bottom,
with big boulders near shore. Different, yet both interesting. Here are some
photos.
